Description
Jennifer Schrack and Elena Fazio introduce new objective measures in a national aging study, in this 2023 symposium paper. The National Health and Aging Trends Study interviews older Medicare members at home each year. It tracks how disability in later life changes over time. Since its start, the study has used hands-on tests of physical function.
In 2021 the study added direct measures of vision, hearing, and daily activity. Vision checks cover sharpness and contrast, hearing uses pure tone tests, and activity uses worn motion sensors. Talks in the symposium show how these data are gathered and what early results look like. Other talks link hearing and surroundings to health and activity patterns.
